TIDE TOPPER

AJ McCarron and Alabama were not about to let Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M get another signature win.

McCarron threw four touchdown passes, Vinnie Sunseri returned an interception 73 yards for a score - sidestepping Johnny Football on the way to the end zone, too - and No. 1 Alabama paid back No. 6 Texas A&M with a 49-42 victory.

Alabama spotted the Aggies a 14-0 lead, shades of last season when A&M jumped out to a 20-0 lead in Tuscaloosa on the way to a victory that all but won the Heisman for Manziel.

McCarron and the Tide didn't take as long to respond this time, ripping off the next 35 points. McCarron tossed three touchdowns in the first half to put Alabama up 28-14. Sunseri's pick-6 made it 35-14 less than three minutes into the third.

Manziel was his spectacular self, throwing for a career-best 464 yards and five TDs. But a first-half interception in the end zone swung the game the Tide's way, and his third-quarter pick and whiff on the tackle put the Aggies in a deep hole.

Manziel's 562 total yards is the second-most in Southeastern Conference history, ranking only behind the 576 he had against Louisiana Tech.

The Aggies had 628 yards, the most ever allowed by Alabama.

KILL HOSPITALIZED AGAIN

Minnesota coach Jerry Kill suffered another game-day seizure, at halftime while the Gophers were playing Western Illinois, and was taken to a local hospital as a precaution.

But the Gophers, used to this by now, carried on and pulled away for a 29-12 victory. Afterward, despite the unavoidably distracting absence of the boss, they said again they're not concerned about his health.

Kill was at home and resting comfortably two hours after the game, according to the university. Taken away on a stretcher, after he writhed back and forth on the ground for several minutes with the Gophers in the locker room clinging to a 7-6 lead, Kill went to the hospital to ensure proper medication levels, according to spokesman Chris Werle.

Kill has worked with doctors to bring his seizures under better control with medication, rest, nutrition and exercise, but the stress of a game day is hard to avoid.

LEGRAND'S NUMBER

Eric LeGrand became the first player in the 144-year history of Rutgers football to have his jersey retired, three years after he was paralyzed in a game against Army.

In a passionate halftime plea to the crowd shortly after his No 52 was unveiled on the upper level box at High Point Solutions Stadium, LeGrand asked them to support research to find a cure for paralysis, a cause he has joined by forming ''Team LeGrand.''

Current coach Kyle Flood presided at the start of the ceremony and presented the 23-year-old a sword with the word ''believe'' inscribed on it.

LeGrand had been greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd - many wearing No. 52 jerseys or T-shirts handed out before the game - as his motorized wheelchair took him from a tunnel near the end zone to midfield. Most fans never sat down during the roughly 10-minute ceremony which was interrupted several times by sustained applause.

CLOSE CALL IN BIG HOUSE

College football's winningest program might have just had its worst win.

Fitzgerald Toussaint scored a go-ahead, 2-yard touchdown with 2:49 left and No. 11 Michigan made a desperately needed stop on the final play to hold on for a 28-24 victory over Akron.

Michigan avoided getting upset at home - as it did against Appalachian State and Toledo - by a Mid-American Conference team with three straight one-win seasons that hasn't won a road game in nearly five years.

The Wolverines trailed twice in the second half - including with 4:10 remaining when Kyle Pohl threw a 1-yard TD - and allowed the Zips to get to the Michigan 4 on the final drive of the game before closing it out.
